Red Sox tie up championship series with win over Astros

Lorena Waters

That, he insisted, is all he ever cared about.

By the time, per tradition, they sang "Sweet Caroline" in the middle of the eighth inning Sunday night at Fenway Park, the giddy, bundled-up crowd may not have actually believed its good fortune. "This isn't about me".

The Red Sox ace is feeling better, but there's no plan for when he'll next pitch.

Astros: In this one, the Astros will face a right-handed starter for the first time in the ALCS (Chris Sale and David Price started Games 1 and 2 for Boston, respectively).

Both teams' starters labored in the early innings. It is now likely Nathan Eovaldi will get that start. If it's baby steps it's baby steps. I expect myself to be great in big moments, and I haven't done that thus far in my career. "But Im very happy that we won". I'll start. I'll come out of the 'pen. "And that's what I'm about".

Google introduced the new Pixel 3 mobileBut if I were shopping for a larger phone, I'd look to the iPhone XS Max or the forthcoming iPhone XR, rather than the Pixel 3 XL. Both devices have identical internal specs , powered by a Snapdragon 845, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, according to Forbes .

As a result of the 7-5 Red Sox victory Sunday night, the ALCS is heading to Texas knotted at a game apiece, with Game 3 on Tuesday at Houston's Minute Maid Park.

Price, the 10-year veteran who entered the game winless in 10 previous postseason starts, did not qualify for this victory. But he said Bregman's post was "all in good fun". "So everything I heard, he should be fine, and it's a matter of him to show up, and we'll talk to him and see how he feels physically and go from there".

Price was within an out of putting himself in position for his first postseason win as a starter, in his 11th try, but with two outs in the fifth and the Red Sox bullpen heating up, he walked Tyler White on four pitches, the second walk Price had issued in the inning - and the 14th issued by the Red Sox in the first 14 innings of this series.

Price left leading 5-4 with two on with two out in the fifth before Matt Barnes struck out Gonzalez to end the inning and then pitched a ideal sixth to earn the victory. "I'll go back out there, hopefully, in Game 3". Unfortunately for Kimbrel, Springer poked a double to left field, then advanced to third base on a wild pitch while José Altuve batted.

"It wasn't the line I dreamed up to have tonight, but our offense, our defense, everybody rallied together", Price said.

Houston tried to pick up Cole with two runs in the second and third, but he was unable to hold onto the 4-2 lead. The Red Sox had home field advantage but promptly ceded it with the Game 1 loss. "It's a well-placed hit".

Gonzalez almost exited the game in the bottom of the third when he crashed into the Green Monster attempting to catch Pearce's fly ball that went for a double. And in this instance, Red Sox left fielder Andrew Benintendi drifted back toward the Green Monster and, with his left hand in touching distance of the wall, caught the drive for the final out.

"Not really catching a break with it rolling on this awkward piece of padding all the way down was unfortunate", Cole said. You have confidence in yourself. Betts added an RBI double in the eighth off Hector Rondon. While there are individuals who roll their eyes at his numbers, remember that most teams would love to have a pitcher with Keuchel's track record in the postseason. Boston lost to the Astros, 7-2.

Price said he appreciated the standing ovation, and said his only concern was that the Red Sox win the game. I know he's, what we call grinding and battling and doing everything that he can. "But obviously whenever you have to go to the hospital you gotta be, quote/unquote, worried". It was a bit of a turn for the Astros after a particularly crisp game one.

If the Red Sox win: Their strategy to pitch Rick Porcello in relief will have paid off again. The wrinkle? Those are regular-season numbers, which certainly didn't mean much last October when Keuchel beat Boston in Game 2 of the ALDS, allowing one run and striking out seven in 5 2/3 innings.
